The ghost cultivators, usually fierce like wild tigers, turned into lambs awaiting slaughter when facing the Azure Dragon. Under the overwhelming disparity in strength, they were almost powerless.

Boom! Boom! Boom!!

The Azure Dragon launched wave after wave of fierce assaults, causing hundreds of ghost cultivators to scream in agony and perish, with only seven high-cultivation and quick-moving ghost generals escaping the Immortal Tomb.

However, these seven ghost cultivators still couldn't elude the Azure Dragon's pursuit because as soon as they flew out of the Immortal Tomb, the Azure Dragon followed them.

Crashing into them violently.

Boom!!

The seven ghost cultivators were struck, their limbs severed, and blood and flesh scattered.

Not only did these seven ghost cultivators fail to escape alive, but they also ended up leading the Azure Dragon out of the Immortal Tomb.

The Ghost King and his numerous minions were greatly shocked, agape. They hadn't anticipated the existence of a beast inside the Immortal Tomb, let alone a flying dragon.

While they were stunned, the Azure Dragon had already leapt out of the Immortal Tomb, targeting them like living targets, rushing at them fiercely.

Boom!!

Several ghost cultivators at the Immortal Tomb entrance were knocked flying out, without even a chance to let out a cry before meeting their end in the Western Heaven.

"A Divine Beast?!!" The Ghost King stared at the Azure Dragon, his eyes fully showing an expression of shock.

A Divine Beast is a class above Spirit Beasts, having awakened intelligence, possessing human-like thinking, and some Divine Beasts are even smarter than humans.

Cultivators with high cultivation tame Divine Beasts as pet beasts, but there are also powerful Divine Beasts who make cultivators their pet beasts...

Usually, Divine Beasts soar above the Nine Heavens, rarely descend to the ground, much less venture into burial pits, so suddenly having a Divine Beast emerge from a burial pit naturally evokes astonishment.

The power of a Divine Beast is formidable, possessing various techniques comparable to cultivators of the Immortal Emperor Realm, far beyond the capacity of these ghost soldiers and ghost generals to resist, and even the Ghost King cannot contend with it.

Though there were over ten thousand ghost cultivators present, in the face of absolute power, numbers are just digits, devoid of substantial significance, so once the Ghost King realized the Azure Dragon was a Divine Beast, he decisively ordered, "Retreat!"

Following the Ghost King's command, the over ten thousand ghost cultivators dispersed in a clamor.

Boom! Boom! Boom!!

The Azure Dragon charged directly at the Ghost King after knocking away dozens of ghost cultivators, clearly revealing the Ghost King's position.

To capture the chief is to capture the thief; naturally, killing the leader is aimed at. The intelligent Azure Dragon understands this principle.

So it targeted the Ghost King, rushing forward fiercely.

The Ghost King turned pale with fright, retreating hastily, while directing with his fingers. Immediately, the Ghost Lamp flew over his head, suddenly flashing, its light enveloping him like a purple shady light shell, fully protecting him.

The next moment...

The Azure Dragon slammed into the Ghost Lamp's light shell with a loud boom; its luminance scattered chaotically. The Azure Dragon's body only halted slightly, then pushed forward, crashing fiercely towards the Ghost King. The Ghost King's eyes widened instantly, his hands joined swiftly, motioning his fingers continuously to immediately create a Corpse Qi Shield in front of him.

Yet, before the Corpse Qi Shield fully formed, the Azure Dragon crashed into it with a bang, shattering it. The Azure Dragon paused briefly again but still pressed unhesitatingly towards the Ghost King.

Wang Xiaoqiang's eyes showed fear; he could not withstand it and instinctively retreated quickly. However, he was nowhere near as fast as the Azure Dragon. With a loud impact, the Azure Dragon slammed into him, sending him flying, and during the flight, the Ghost King sprayed two mouthfuls of fresh blood...

The Azure Dragon did not relent after sending the Ghost King flying, continuing its pursuit.

The severely wounded Ghost King fled using available strength, but to his dismay, the Azure Dragon gave chase again. This ignited both anger and resolve within him; his fingers moved rapidly, corpse qi spread, and amidst the corpse qi, black lotus flowers grew naturally, from each black lotus, sword lights emerged.

This lotus-born sword was not a ghost path technique but a human cultivator's swordsmanship that the Ghost King covertly learned, named the "Immortal Sword of the Rootless Black Lotus," tremendously powerful and his trump card technique, which he never used before.

At the point of life and death, he displayed it for survival.

As the Azure Dragon surged forward again, the Ghost King sneered coldly, then wielded the double-handed sword gesture, causing the sword light within the black lotus to blaze with cold radiance, swiftly bursting out towards the Azure Dragon.

The Azure Dragon, seeing sword light flashing ahead, turned its eyes and paused, opening its mouth to spew out a flame.

Hoo!

That flame appeared solid, devouring the incoming sword light.

The black sword light burned in the great fire, twisting and deforming like worms, ultimately turning into segments of ash...

The "Immortal Sword of the Rootless Black Lotus" was a lotus-born sword, inherently a wood attribute technique; a wood attribute sword naturally disintegrates when encountering a fire attribute technique.

The Azure Dragon broke the Ghost King's "Immortal Sword of the Rootless Black Lotus," continuing to charge at him.

The Ghost King, stunned by his trump card technique being broken by the Azure Dragon, felt a surge of despair. Seeing the Azure Dragon coming at him, he swung his hand, releasing a puppet from the ring. Another wave, several dozen ghost talismans were sent out, sticking to the puppet.

The puppet, covered with ghost talismans, blocked the path of the Azure Dragon.

The Azure Dragon opened its mouth, releasing a fireball towards the puppet.

When the fireball hit the puppet, it exploded with a boom!

The powerful shockwave scattered the ghost talismans on the puppet, these talismans being body immobilization talismans could immobilize the enemy for an hour when attached.

The puppet self-destructed, and the immobilization talismans shot off in scatter, finally, two immobilization talismans stuck to the Azure Dragon, stopping its body.

The Ghost King let out a long breath, taking the opportunity to flee.

What he did not anticipate was that after a minute, the Azure Dragon shook off the immobilization talismans and chased him again.

The Ghost King's immobilization talismans can hold an enemy for an hour, but that's only effective against those of lower or the same realm, and even at the Immortal King level. However, against a Divine Beast like the Azure Dragon at the Immortal Emperor level, it could only provide a minute of holding effect.

...

The Immortal Tomb.

In a corner.

Wang Xiaoqiang spread his divine sense for a moment, seeing that there was no movement inside or outside the Immortal Tomb anymore, he stood up, activating his willpower, retracting Little Mei into the Sumeru Ring, then cautiously circumvented the bronze giant coffin, intending to escape the Immortal Tomb.

Just as he bypassed the Immortal Tomb, a humming voice sounded inside the Immortal Tomb, saying, "Boy, if you're wise, leave the War God Hammer behind, or you'll be made to wish for death later!"

Though the voice wasn't loud, nor very clear, it was just enough for Wang Xiaoqiang to hear clearly.

Upon hearing this voice, Wang Xiaoqiang's heart shook, his steps halted, a hesitation arose in his heart, but he eventually gritted his teeth, leaping swiftly to leave the Immortal Tomb.

He understood clearly that the voice emanating from the bronze giant coffin belonged to an exceedingly powerful presence, and the War God Hammer in his hand was also theirs. The War God Hammer had now fallen into his possession, and he ought to return it, yet he hesitated to part with such a formidable hammer.

Wang Xiaoqiang always acted following his own heart, regardless of consequences, and now that he was cultivating the "Path of Courage," harboring fear would damage his Daoist Heart; he wouldn't allow himself to feel fear. So after he flew out of the Immortal Tomb, he immediately cast aside this matter. (To be continued.
